Legendary Pink Dots Princess Coldheart Lyrics

Princess Coldheart Lyrics

Princess Coldheart closed her eyes 

And waited for the kiss to snap the chain between her lips

They waited proud, they waited willing

Filed in, failed, and so she killed them



Sitting on her cutglass throne for 40 years without a phone

Without a single word

100 thousand would-be suitors

Dead because they couldn't move her



In the courtyard flowers bloomed

They drapped themselves round tombs and rows of crosses

Pretty flowers bloom

They drapped themselves round tombs and rows of crosses



Some were daring, tried the tricks they'd learned in France

Some would touch her hand

Money signs etched in their eyes

She sensed it and one by one they died

Others chanted poems, even showered her with strange expensive gifts.

She couldn't read, she owned the best 

She laid their flattery to rest



In the courtyard flowers bloomed

They drapped themselves round tombs and rows of crosses

Pretty flowers bloom

They drapped themselves round tombs and rows of crosses



Then, one october night

The humble village fool caught sight of Coldheart and he fell

He smashed a rock against her throne 

He snatched her hand and took her home

Happily they lived forever after

He wears her chain upon his chest

She even lets him kiss her breast



In the courtyard flowers bloomed

They drapped themselves round tombs and rows of crosses

In their garden flowers grew

They pick them and decorate their room, it's touching

It's touching, so touching

It's touching, so touching, ahhh....
